PERFA 180L - Laban and Bartenieff Movement Studies Lab

Upper Division

Concurrently
This course must be taken concurrently with PERFA 180.

Prerequisites
The prerequisite for this course is PERFA 080 Dance Science or the equivalent.

In this class students will approach inquiry as a creative process through which cognitive and kinesthetic abilities continually and integrally evolve. Through observations, experiential explorations, class discussions, group projects/presentations, individual movement practice, and a final synthesis project, students will be immersed in the perspective on human movement that the LMA system provides, and the inquiries towards which it can be applied. The Laban systems of Body (Bartenieff movement studies), Effort, Shape, and Space will be the basis of the experience.

Lecture and/or Lab Hours
The class has two parts: 1) lecture and discussion, 2) experiential lab.
